Are you living under lockdown restrictions?

11. I just got off a required quarantine after a workplace exposure to COVID.

Public Health put everyone exposed under a 2 week quarantine. I had two negative tests (thankfully) waited the mandated two weeks, and I'm now ok to leave my house if I choose to. The entire state of Illinois is under a mask requirement when you are out in public but there are a bunch of people that ignore the order and several lawsuits have been filed trying to undo the order. It's a shit show.

I work at home--have been since March--and the only times I leave the house is to go to the pharmacy to pick up prescriptions. That has been by my choice up to the time I was exposed at work when I agreed to go in for two days to train a new employee. From here on out, I plan to work at home until forced to go back.

I do think Pritizger (our Dem Governor) has saved lives with what he's done, and I've heard several people express that same attitude. Illinois got nailed pretty hard in the early stages of the pandemic and Pritzger has struggled to get the curve flattened as much as possible.
